Chapter One Hundred and Six: Interlocking, Cousin
"What's going on?"
When everyone came to take a look, they were immediately startled by the dying man lying on the ground, the shrinking body under the clothes, and the scalp of the person who was gradually disappearing flesh and blood was numb.
Qi Qiancheng's exposed palm has gradually revealed white bones, only a little flesh and blood is left on it, and the bloody and blurred hand on the ground is pointing in the direction where Zhao Minghan is standing, his eyes are bulging and blood-colored staring at Zhao Minghan, and his sunken face is hideous and thin like a ghost.
"I ...... It's also ...... to be a ghost Won't put ...... Spare your ......"
This time, there was no need for Wei Kaiqiu and others to say more, and the people who came later looked at Zhao Minghan with strange and shocked expressions.
And several guards who followed Zhao Minghan also drew their swords and pointed at Zhao Minghan: "You dare to murder the prince of our country, take your life!" ”
Several guards slashed towards Zhao Minghan, Zhao Minghan was already in his fifties and Wenchen didn't know martial arts at all, seeing the swords and swords around him slashing towards him, his face became more and more miserable, and his widening eyes were already dyed with a bit of horror.
"Stop!"
Chu Wenjin, who came back to his senses, hurriedly shouted.
But those guards were all people who defended the country for a long time, and they were Qi Qiancheng's personal guards, so it was impossible to listen to him at all.
And for a few guards, Prince Qi had an accident in front of their eyes, and they had only one way to die when they returned to Changwei Kingdom, and they had to avenge the prince!
Seeing that a few people not only didn't stop, but also slashed at Zhao Minghan with more and more aggressive moves, Chu Wenjin's face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Evil spirit!" ”
In an instant, several black shadows appeared in the chamber and headed towards the guards, protecting Zhao Minghan behind him.
When Chu Wenqing saw this scene, he immediately remembered the words of the young man last night in his mind, looking at the terrifying corpse that had been cut off from breath, but the flesh and blood were still gradually disappearing, Chu Wenqing suddenly felt that his limbs were cold, and a shiver and fear that could not be suppressed rose in his heart.
Who is that boy? There is such a terrible and cruel method......
If this is to be applied to him......
Chu Wenqing shivered instantly, just thinking about it casually, he felt his scalp tingle and frightened.
Not only Chu Wenqing, but all the people who saw Qi Qiancheng's corpse couldn't help but turn white, the body of the flesh and blood that gradually turned into white bones challenged the tolerance limit in the hearts of the people of the world to a great extent, and everyone subconsciously took a few steps back again, and directly exited the door.
Because Wei Kaiqiu and the others who were standing in front of them all saw the terrible things that were gradually wriggling in the blur of flesh and blood, and only when they looked closely could they clearly see that the wriggling things were actually composed of countless insects as fine as hair.
In other words, Qi Qiancheng was simply eaten away by these terrible things into a pile of white bones......
And these things, if they didn't hear it wrong just now, are Gu.
The fight on the third floor finally attracted the attention of the downstairs, and many people came upstairs to take a peek, but they were stopped by Bailizun's attendants, and sent someone to report what happened here to the palace as soon as possible.
This matter involves a lot of friendship, involving the friendship between the two countries, if it is not handled well, it is easy to cause a national war, and this matter is obviously the problem of Chu, if other countries take advantage of this to crusade against Chu and send troops to reinforce Qi Xiang, it will be bad......
"Little sister, it's so lively on the other side, Xiao Ye wants to see it."
In the box, the night beauty looked at the crowd of people on the other side, and said to Su Mujun with curiosity.
Su Muxu remembered the black-clothed young man just now, he had seen it, it was the secret guard Fengsan beside Sister A, and the private room opposite happened to be where Zhao Minghan was, so I was afraid that this matter had something to do with Sister A......
Su Mujun picked up a piece of braised lion's head and put it on the plate of the night beauty, and laughed softly: "There are insects that can eat people over there, if the night passes, such a white and tender night must be very popular with insects......"
"Don't, don't! Don't go, don't get eaten by bugs......"
Before Su Mujun's words were finished, the night beauty shook her head in fear and shouted, her eyes were suddenly filled with wet tears, and she shrank in fear.
Su Muxu, who was on the side, couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, and glanced at his sister who coaxed the children, and a trace of helplessness and shallow doting flashed in the cat's eyes as bright as stars.
For some reason, he always felt that Sister Ah was a little more cute every time she deceived Xiaoye......
Here, the evil spirit and the others subdued several guards in a short time, Chu Wenjin was about to say something with a gloomy face, Chu Wenqing smiled at the angry guards and smiled kindly.
"Let's calm down first, since the crown prince of your country died because of Zuo Xiang, our majesty will definitely give your country an explanation, and will definitely not shield criminals."
Chu Wenjin frowned, and glanced at Chu Wenqing coldly: "King Ning doesn't know the cause and effect, don't convict people at will, what is the matter, we have to investigate to find out." ”
Zhao Minghan on the side heard the words and hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself: "Prince Qi's death has nothing to do with the prime minister, just now in the private room, the prime minister suddenly saw a wisp of black mist rushing into the body of the prince of Qi, and soon after he was like this, the prime minister has never assassinated the prince of Qi." ”
Zhao Minghan is not stupid, the situation at this time is obviously not favorable to him, if he says that the wisp of black mist is coming out of his body, then he really jumps into the Yellow River and can't wash it away.
Hearing this, Chu Wenqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Wenjin, with three points of coldness in his eyes, and sneered.
"What is the truth of the matter, everyone is watching, it is Prince Qi himself who said that Zuo Xiang is the one who killed him, can Prince Qi still use his death to frame Zuo Xiang?"
Chu Wenjin was about to say something, but Chu Wenqing's voice changed, and he didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
"Even if Prince Qi intends to use his death to blame Zuo Xiang, just eat poison or wipe his neck, there is no need to let himself die so miserably, turn into a pile of white bones, I'm afraid even a fool wouldn't do such a thing."
Rao is Chu Wenjin, who was deep and steady, was also choked by Chu Wenqing's words and had nothing to say, so he could only keep a calm face and keep silent.
After all, the current situation is indeed unfavorable to Zuo Xiang, no matter what he really thinks about this matter, whether Zuo Xiang did it or not, just based on the words of Prince Qi before his death just now, and so many witnesses present, Zuo Xiang will not be able to escape the involvement, and it can even be said that it is difficult to escape......
But the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is the help of his side, how can he watch the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion be destroyed.
"Maybe there's a misunderstanding here......"
Chu Wenjin wanted to defend Zuo Xiang for something, but was interrupted by Wei Qiqiu's hearty laughter.
"This matter is really strange, but there are only Zuo Xiang and Prince Qi in the box, and Prince Qi kept saying that Zuo Xiang harmed him before he died, no matter what, Prince Qi died tragically after all, and this Zuo Xiang will not escape the involvement."
"Indeed, regardless of whether there is another hidden meaning in this matter, based on the evidence of Prince Qi before his death, Zuo Xiang is also responsible for this matter."
Nan Yuan Xuanqi's handsome face rippled with a soft and playful smile, and a pair of gentle and wise glass eyes with a little bold and chic smile.
Ji Yifeng's words were much more direct: "This matter is inseparable from the left minister. ”
The rest of the people also nodded with different expressions.
In any case, this matter is not bad for their country, and the ministers of Chu are naturally happy to lose them one by one, and it is best if the Chu Emperor does not deal with the left minister, and the countries will have a reason to join forces to go to war......
Seeing this, the rippling sparkle in the affectionate peach blossom eyes became more and more gloomy, he tightened his teeth and suppressed the anger in his chest, closed his mouth and stood aside without saying a word, obviously giving up on helping Zuo Xiangfu.
This matter now involves the envoys of various countries, if it is only the people of Chu State, it is okay, but there are also people from other countries, and now they have all expressed their attitudes, obviously they want to die to the left, he can't help, he can't help anymore, otherwise he will be charged with being a behind-the-scenes main messenger, that is, he is the son of the world, and he will not die and shed his skin when the time comes!
Seeing that Chu Wenjin no longer spoke, Baili Zun knew that this matter was basically a foregone conclusion, so he said to the wolf rider who came over.
"Escort Zuo Xiang into the palace and your majesty will personally handle it, and prepare the coffin for Prince Qi."
Then he looked at the several guards around Prince Qi and the people present, and arched his hand and said: "Everyone has seen this with their own eyes, and I also ask you to enter the palace with this prime minister and explain the situation to the emperor." ”
Wei Kaiqiu waved his hand indifferently, and said briskly: "You're polite, this prince will go with you." ”
"You're welcome, we should go with you." Nan Yuanxuan smiled gently.
Ji Yifeng just nodded gloomily and didn't speak, and the rest of the people also expressed their willingness to go.
So a group of people followed Bailizun all the way downstairs, and Chu Wenqing, who was at the end, glanced at Chu Wenjin with a sneer, and the pleasure of smug provocation in his eyes was obvious, and Chu Wenjin's face became more and more gloomy.
I only felt that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Wenqing, but I couldn't figure out how Chu Wenqing did it......
When Chu Wenqing turned to leave, he inadvertently saw the box with the door open on the opposite side, and his footsteps suddenly paused, looking at the slender purple shadow, a trace of unexplained suspicion crossed his eyes.
Why is Su Mujun here?
The most strange thing is that the people in the box on the whole floor have come out and gathered here, but Su Mujun sat in the private room as if he hadn't heard anything, isn't this too weird......
Chu Wenjin saw Chu Wenqing suddenly stand still, his eyes flashed slightly, and he followed his gaze, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the figure in the bakery.
Su Mujun?
How did she end up here?
No, that's not the point, the point is that such a big thing happened, and she was able to sit in the box and eat peacefully without care, isn't it too weird......
Su Mujun was already facing the door, and when he felt the two gazes, he raised his eyes, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he raised the teacup in his hand and raised it at the two of them.
The evil and treacherous smile made Chu Wenqing and Chu Wenjin's hearts skip a beat, and they inexplicably felt a thick danger, but this perception only disappeared in an instant, so fast that they didn't have time to appreciate it at all.
Chu Wenqing frowned and withdrew his gaze, striding away, but his heart gradually became heavy, full of suspicion, this Chunyu seemed to be becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable......
And why is she here? Is it a coincidence? Still is......
Thinking of the young man who was somewhat similar to him last night, Chu Wenqing felt more and more that the two should have something to do with each other......
Chu Wenjin glanced at Su Mujun deeply, and walked away, but his heart became more and more determined to get rid of this woman, this person became more and more mysterious, and at this time even made him feel a trace of danger that could not be ignored.
For this unexpected existence, it is better to stifle it as soon as possible......
Looking at the empty corridor, the smile on the corner of Su Mujun's lips became a little colder.
In fact, Qi Qiancheng's matter was not her in the final analysis, she just blamed Zhao Minghan for Qi Qiancheng's death.
Because in the previous life, Qi Qiancheng died suddenly on the second day of Emperor Chu's birthday, turning into a pile of white bones, and the original body was shocked when he heard about it.
And the entire Chu State has been investigating for nearly a month and has not found out why, seeing that the countries are ready to move, so they temporarily pulled a low-ranking courtier as a shield, and reluctantly ended the matter.
In this life, because of this memory, and getting acquainted with Qin Lanxue and Qi Qianying in the hidden mountain, Su Mujun figured out the reason.
Although Ah Xue didn't say it, Xiao Sakura disappeared when he was in Qi Xiang Kingdom, since he is the prince of Qi Xiang Kingdom, he should have returned to Qi Xiang Kingdom, and appeared on the battlefield before, just think about it, Su Mujun guessed A Xue's plan.
Since this is the case, then in the previous life, Qi Qiancheng suddenly died in the Chu State, and the tragic death was very similar to A Xue's handwriting, and there was only one possibility, that is, it was from Qi Qianying's handwriting.
Therefore, when Qin Lanxue left, Su Mujun already had this plan in his heart, so he asked Qin Lanxue for an ordinary Gu worm, in order to lead to today's trouble.
The memory in his mind only knew that Qi Qiancheng died at ten minutes at lunch, so Su Mujun chose this time period for Zhao Minghan and Qi Qiancheng to stay together.
In order not to give Zhao Minghan a chance to turn over and escape, he asked Feng San to put the Gu worm on Zhao Minghan's body, and let Qi Qiancheng see the Gu worm fall from Zhao Minghan's body to himself.
No matter when Qi Qiancheng's body was attacked by Qi Qianying's Gu, with this scene, Qi Qiancheng would definitely bite Zhao Minghan to death, even if Qi Qiancheng went to the halfway attack after eating, as long as Zhao Minghan's name was said, Zhao Minghan would not be able to escape.
And with the beheading of the Lu family, the envoys of various countries and the important ministers of the Chu State will definitely gather in Qi Manlou, and they will more or less see Qi Qiancheng and Zhao Minghan eating together, once Qi Qiancheng has an accident, these people from other countries will also come out to testify for their own calculations.
It's just that what Su Mujun didn't expect was that this Qi Qiancheng's Gu attack was at the right time, and it actually happened in the box, which made her plan more and more perfect, and it also aggravated Zhao Minghan's death.
So many people testified, and they all heard Qi Qiancheng personally say that Zhao Minghan was the murderer, even if Emperor Chu suspected this, he had to behead Zhao Minghan to give Qi Xiangguo an explanation.
"On such a lively occasion, Jun'er won't join in the fun?"
A gentle and joking voice entered the box, and then I saw a handsome and elegant man in a blue brocade robe walk in.
Su Mujun looked at the person who came, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "Isn't it a little inappropriate for such a big thing to happen, as the boss, not to deal with the trouble, but to come here to talk and laugh with people." ”
Su Muxu raised his eyes and looked at the man who came over, the gentle and somewhat sunny and comfortable atmosphere was easy to arouse a good impression, but how did he look at that face was somewhat familiar......
Su Qifeng smiled absently, and sat down at the dinner table: "If the people under your hands can't even handle this trivial matter, you can pack up your things and leave." ”
"Second cousin?!"
Su Muxu's cat's eyes as bright as stars flashed a hint of surprise, looking at the person in front of him, it was no wonder that he felt familiar, but it was not the second cousin Su Qifeng who had only met a few times but had not seen him for many years.
Su Qifeng saw that Su Muxu recognized him, the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more gentle and bright, and Xinglang's bright eyes were dyed with the softness of both hearts.
"It is rumored that Xu'er's illness has cured, but now it seems to be true, congratulations to Xu'er for getting rid of the entanglement of the disease."
Although Su Muxu was not familiar with Su Qifeng, he saw that Su Qifeng's words were sincere, and there was a warm smile on his face.
"Thank you, second cousin."
Immediately, Su Muxu glanced at Su Mujun, and when he saw that her expression remained unchanged, his heart suddenly understood.
Sister, this has known the identity of the person who came for a long time......
Su Mujun did know it early on, when he planned to plot the Guohou Mansion and use the cause of Prince Qi's death to lead the water to the east, he chose this restaurant with a suitable location, so he asked Feng Ye to go and check it out.
Only then did I know that the boss of Qi Manlou was her relative, the sister-in-law of the second room of the Su family.
After Su Shenghui and Su Shengqin both entered the court as officials and entered the officialdom, Su Shengwen, as the second son, inherited the ancestral business of the Su family and continued to do business to maintain the identity of a businessman.
It's just that Su Shengwen, like Su Mujun's grandfather Su Shengqin, died early, and died of illness a few years ago.
Without Su Shengwen, the gap between the second room and the first vein from the business and the big house and the third room has widened, although they live in Jin'an Houfu, the relationship has become increasingly estranged.
Later, a few years after Su Shenghui inherited the throne and the old marquis died of illness, that is, seven years ago, Su Shengwen's son Su Jingwei left Jin'an Houfu with his family and stayed away from the capital and went to Lianshui Prefecture in the east.
Lianshui Prefecture is close to the area along the river, with 39 county capitals, nearly 200 counties, prosperous business, outstanding people, and many natural hot springs, is an extremely prosperous prefecture.
And Su Qifeng is Su Jingwei's son and Su Mujun's second cousin.
I thought that the people in the second room would never appear in the capital in their lives, but I didn't expect Su Qifeng to expand the industry to Liyang and open a branch of Qi Manlou here.
Su Qifeng looked at Su Mujun, who didn't say a word, and ate slowly, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a glimmer of light flashed in Xinglang's bright eyes, and he suddenly found that this little cousin seemed to be too mysterious.
If it weren't for hearing about her feats in recent months, which made him a little curious, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to meet him today.
But the little cousin seems to have known about him for a long time......
"Don't you call me cousin? It's really sad~" Su Qifeng pretended to be sad and winked at Su Mujun.
If the cute appearance is changed, other women will definitely feel pity, but this person is Su Mujun who does not eat oil and salt.
Su Mujun casually raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Qifeng, and his tentacles evoked a wicked smile: "Are you planning to give a meeting gift?" ”
Su Qifeng's eyebrows moved when he heard this, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still said with a bright smile on his face.
"If you can get a cousin, the meeting gift is naturally to be given, but your cousin and I are ordinary people, and I can't afford to give anything valuable~"
"I heard that there is a mountain hot spring in Dongtang in Longxia Prefecture of Qin State, why don't you give it to me as a meeting gift?"
The smile on Su Mujun's face was unbridled, and the words he said were unusually casual, as if he was discussing the weather.
However, listening to Su Qifeng's ears, the smile on his face stiffened slightly for a moment, and a touch of surprise appeared in his bright and bright eyes instantly, and then his eyes darkened a little.
Because of his father's poor health, he handed over the Su family's property to him a few years ago, and over the years, he has also expanded the Su family's business more and more, almost all over the country.
And the annex in Dongtang Zhuhai was built by him, and the property rights of that piece of Zhuhai were also inadvertently obtained by him, and later let people open the mountain and lead to hot springs.
Because of the pleasant scenery of the location, he originally planned to spend his days for leisure in the future, this is his personal property, even his father doesn't know, but Su Mujun knows it so clearly, if he just suspected that this little cousin had a problem before, then now he can be completely sure.
It's just that I don't know if she has really pretended to be sick all these years, if not, then who is the person behind her? If so, then it's really terrible.
A five-year-old child must have a ghostly mind to hide himself and endure this, step by step to plan to hide and wait for the opportunity, this is no longer shocking but creepy.
Su Mujun saw that Su Qifeng was silent and didn't say anything more, lowered his head and continued to eat the food on the table, fully giving Su Qifeng enough time to think about it.
Dongtang Zhuhai's Yiyun Villa was found when she asked Feng Ye to investigate Su Qifeng, Su Qifeng is not very old, but he is quite talented in business, not only that, but he also often mixes in martial arts, and has met a lot of martial arts people, not to mention, but also saved a lot of people with status.
This Zhuhai is the richest man in the Qin State, and the old lady of the Du family, who is as famous as the Xie family, gave it to Su Qifeng.
This Zhuhai was originally just a scenic spot with beautiful scenery, it was a place where the children of the rich people of Dongtang gathered to play, since Su Qifeng took over Zhuhai, he established a huge mountain villa in this beautiful place, and opened the mountain to lead to the hot springs.
The size of Yiyun Villa is divided into Xianting Fengyue and Yun-dyed Moon, Xianting Fengyue is the first half of the entire Yiyun Villa, which is specially used to open the door for business.
Under the cloud-dyed moon is the second half of Yiyun Villa, which is also the real Yiyun Villa, which is a private territory and is never open to the public.
And the mountains under the cloud dye moon with mountains at the back are a good place to exercise and hide forces, so Su Mujun will set his sights on Yiyun Villa.
There was silence in the air, and for a while, there was no sound of speaking, only the sound of Su Mujun and the three of them eating was left, especially the night beauty, the table full of food made him eat sizzlingly, and it looked extremely delicious.
Su Muxu was eating silently, while guessing today's events, and when he thought about it, layers of vibration gradually rose in his heart.
Originally, looking at the accident on the other side, he thought it was Sister A's handiwork, but now it seems that Sister A's plan is not like this, and coming here today can be described as killing two birds with one stone, both for Zuo Xiang, and it seems that he also intends to deal with the second cousin......
But Su Muxu always felt that the things in it were not as simple as he thought, and he always felt that there were more involved......
Although Su Muxu had a hunch, at this time, he couldn't have imagined that what he felt was not only correct, but also the truth was far beyond his imagination.
Su Mujun's handwriting is more than killing two birds with one stone, starting from yesterday's palace banquet, step by step, interlocking until this time together with Su Qifeng.
first designed to eradicate the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, used the death of the Lu family to attract everyone to Qi Manlou, then Prince Qi and Zuo Xiang, and then made everyone a talisman to kill Zuo Xiang's Mansion, and then to Su Qifeng, the boss of Qi Manlou.
This perfect and terrifying plan is enough to shock anyone......
Halfway through, the silent Su Qifeng shook his head with a sigh, revealing a helpless and gentle smile.
"This son is digging a pit by himself and burying himself, if the little cousin is in business, he must be above the cousin......"
This helpless joke already explained Su Qifeng's answer.
------Off topic------
Why are you gentlemen, this is a brain hole that has exploded, and there is a series of schemes, big money, haha~
